\ very pleasant time was had last Sat
urday afternoon by those present when
Mrs. Elizur Peck, Familiarity known
among her neighbors as Aunt Jane, was
surprised by a number of ladies coming
to spend the afternoon with her. Her
first exclamation as the first arrivals
came in was to her family, "Why, Pve
only one kind of cake in the house" but
as they gathered in numbers, each laden
with suspicious-looking packages, it final
ly occurred to the mystitied lady that
she was the victim of surprise party,
and. genuine one, too, it proved, and
that she would not be called upon to fur
nish the cake. After they were assem-
bled Mrs. ii. c. Bingham presented Mrs.
Peck with "a nice platform rocker hand
somely upholstered in velvet tapestry
a very nice and comfortable chair, as all
testified, as, of course, it was tried by
all. The good woman was much moved
and thanked them warmly for this testi-
mony of their kindness and said she felt
unworthy to receive such ii gift. She
was earnestly entreated to use it for her
everyday comfort, all wishing she might
live to wear it out. Mrs. Peck has re-
sided all her married life at her present
home and has always proved a good
neighbor in sickness or in health, ready
and willing to lend helping hand and
in this way has endeared herself strong
ly to her neighbors, and they felt willing
and glad to contribute their mite toward
substantial token of their appreciation,
At half-past four nice refreshments were
lserved by the ladies. The afternoon was
pleasantly passed and Judging from ones
own enjoyment, it will be one of memo
rvs pleasant pictures.
